Hey Essential phone owners, Has anyone here used flashfire with success?
Yeah, it hasn't been a full day yet... So, noone has used flashfire?
Haha, OK.

Yeah, I don't *think* it works... I gave the backup function a try and I don't *think* it went well.

Was about to post it aswell! Its 'finaly' here
WTF??? Please tell me this isn't a hoax...
Edit: why would the nav bar be Lollipop style if it's upgrading from Kit Kat?

Good point... It would be hilarious if Motorola upgraded the X to Lollipop before any Nexus devices got it.
Estimated time between soak test and official ota?
Guess I must have answered something wrong in the surveys
I wouldn't be surprised if we got it before the nexus devices...
Post disappeared from the Moto site.. Looks like a mistake?
I dont think so, it maybe the soak test, but the moto g notes are still there

Sounds great. Thanks for keeping us posted. Ah i haven't posted here in awhile but i thought now would be a good time to sign back in
it looks like I might be rooting my motox for this if you guys get a zip posted on here....makes me wonder what I didn't do to not get to be the few who did get it.
If we get the OTA zip you will need to be stock, so don't root just yet.

Stock? There's nothing but stock atm? Also we can just unroot right? And we could still flash it all while a custom recovery is installed right? And just flash some files through fastboot.
Hi guys.
Basically the new official update for the Moto G4/G4 plus are around the corner (supposedly) and I have already unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, installed the Xposed Framework and made modifications with Gravitybox. Now, how much of this do I need to undo in order to get the update without problems? Or will we be able to just update it and it'll wipe out everything? In case that I needed to unroot it, how can I do it?
Thanks guys.
Everything except the bootloader unlock

All of it most likely, especially after installing Xposed and Gravitybox. Flash the stock firmware before the OTA comes out, or just wait til an updated full ROM is released on File Factory or the Moto firmware site.

Thanks! I'll do it, let's see if it's worthy. Do I have to do it before it's released?

Thanks, it'll be really helpful to get the new update.
I look at my system updates, and I see this! I couldn't believe it! Nougat is finally here!
Just checked and received it as well!
Has somebody captured the OTA file?
Can we root the android nougat?
I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

I had every intention to but I was so excited that I forgot before I updated. If no one else does and I can find a stock file to go back to MM, I will try.

On Verizon no. And probably never will be able to.
That sucks

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.
My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.

Is it an official ADDISON_VZW or is it a RETUS device?

What is the issue with the Verizon variant for root? I am willing to commit a good tip for a verifyable process to anyone that can do it in a reasonable timeframe. Anyone else willing to donate to the cause?
The bootloader can't be unlocked.

The device is official VZW. I also have the " device has failed verification" warning on start-up. I'm sure that's not helping things either...

Mostly QCSB and the nearly impossible to exploit bootloader.

FYI, I was able to upgrade to Nougat this morning using the VZW software upgrade assistant.

So the N firmware is used by that?
Can you extract it somehow? Mac or PC?
Does anyone know when the stock rom will be available? I messed my device.
You are not alone

Agreed would like to have a copy of it as well

If you all are rooted, go check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/oxygenos-4-5-1-backup-t3626167
It is a TWRP backup of 4.5.1. And after restoring please format your data as there will be issues if not done so.
Anyone else getting a system update today? I've already got owacerts set as .bak and sys updates disabled, but for some reason I'm still getting the nag? Any thoughts on preventing this? Nothing to freeze in Titanium for FOTA, or System Update since it's a diff variant.
hmm i think it might be version 10p as i update a while ago

I have already released a flashable version of this update here:

If you are rooted you can install it. Read all the warnings first though.
